We're popping the champagne corks. This time, the fantastic mixology magazinefor once it wasn't the quality of our distillates that was recognised, but the design of a very special product. The KABUMM Vodka. 1st place for our bottle in the category "best vodka design in the German-speaking world". The jury justified their decision as follows: "TOOOOO good to be true: Somewhere between crystal ball and comic marble, this German-Austrian co-production from Farthofer and rapper Sido blasts its way to packaging sensation."
And further: "The hand-applied brand lettering and the product designation 'VODKA' each wrap around one half of the vessel in white, widely spaced capital letters. A crystal-clear statement! The spherical bottles are truly one of a kind in the most literal sense, as only mouth-blown originals make their production possible without flattened bases. The bottle neck, tamed by a wooden-handled cork, is additionally wrapped in a stiff pennant label with silver foil embossing that masterfully evokes the image of a fuse. A well-rounded affair with an impressive presence, arriving with a bang that is loud and yet elegant. CLINK and CHEERS to victory!"
Although this is about the packaging rather than the sensory characteristics of the vodka, here is a brief description of what KABUMM is all about. We are quoting freely from the KABUMM website.
A creative collaboration
The passion for creating a truly unique vodka brought us together with Berlin rapper Sido and his long-standing business partner Burkhard Westerhoff. Our Mostelleria is where products are born that are shaped by love, craftsmanship and naturalness. Among them is the premium O-Series, whose O-Vodka was named the best vodka in the world in 2012. "Unconventional, full of ideas and passionate – that's how you might describe Josef Farthofer. Attributes that equally define Sido. Burkhard Westerhoff completes and connects this creative collaboration with 'a little bit of both'. The beginning of a high-proof German-Austrian liaison." Quasi DÖF 2.
We are absolutely thrilled. Especially since we put so much heart and soul into developing the KABUMM look. The choice of bottle, the testing, the lettering. Nothing but the very best was good enough for us.
